Narcotics officers were in the area investigating possible drug activity when they came in contact with two men who immediately ran. Officers chased both suspects on foot to a nearby abandoned house. One man escaped while the other man produced a handgun and fired at the officers. They returned fire, striking the suspect.

The suspect was transported to an area hospital and is listed in critical condition. His weapon was recovered and was later determined to be stolen.

Both officers involved are currently on administrative leave while an internal and criminal investigation is being conducted.
